The volume operator in covariant quantum gravity [PDF]
A covariant spin-foam formulation of quantum gravity has been recently developed, characterized by a kinematics which appears to match well the one of canonical loop quantum gravity.

On Propagation in Loop Quantum Gravity [PDF]
A rigorous implementation of the Wheeler–Dewitt equations was derived in the context of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) and was coined Quantum Spin Dynamics (QSD). The Hamiltonian constraint of QSD was criticised as being too local and to prevent “propagation”

A short review of loop quantum gravity [PDF]
An outstanding open issue in our quest for physics beyond Einstein is the unification of general relativity (GR) and quantum physics. Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a leading approach toward this goal.

Loop quantum gravity’s boundary maps [PDF]
In canonical quantum gravity, the presence of spatial boundaries naturally leads to boundary quantum states, representing quantum boundary conditions for the bulk fields.

Matter in Loop Quantum Gravity [PDF]
Loop quantum gravity, a non-perturbative and manifestly background free, quantum theory of gravity implies that at the kinematical level the spatial geometry is discrete in a specific sense.

Black holes in loop quantum gravity [PDF]
This is a review of results on black hole physics in the context of loop quantum gravity. The key feature underlying these results is the discreteness of geometric quantities at the Planck scale predicted by this approach to quantum gravity.

Loop quantum gravity and cosmological constant
A one-parameter regularization freedom of the Hamiltonian constraint for loop quantum gravity is analyzed. The corresponding spatially flat, homogenous and isotropic model includes the two well-known models of loop quantum cosmology as special cases. The

Polyhedra in loop quantum gravity [PDF]
Interwiners are the building blocks of spin-network states. The space of intertwiners is the quantization of a classical symplectic manifold introduced by Kapovich and Millson.
